How to Make It

Step 1

Combine 2 cups of the mango, the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a blender, and blend until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Boil 1/4 cup of water. While the water is coming to a boil, combine 1/4 cup of room temperature water with the gelatin. Let it stand for 1 minute to bloom, and then add the boiling water. Stir constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Combine the gelatin with the blended mango mixture until fully incorporated, and then fold the whipped cream into the mixture.

Step 3

Pour into 6 or 8 ramekins, or small cups if you don’t have them. If you don’t want to deal with dishes, use clear plastic cups. Add the remaining diced mango on top (make sure they are diced very small so that they don’t sink), along with a sprig of mint or chopped mint if you prefer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Make Ahead

These last in the fridge for at least 3 days as long as they are tightly covered. You can serve these straight out of the fridge, or they can sit out for up to 3 hours before serving. If you are keeping them for more than a day, you may want to add the mango and mint only at the last minute.

Notes

The ripeness and variety of mango will alter the sweetness of this recipe. If you have frozen or less sweet mango, you may want to add a tablespoon or so of honey.
